Poster Idea

I've been contemplating on what to do for the poster project and I'm pulling a lot of inspiration from Gran Fury's poster because of how beautiful it is. It represents three different unions of love and each couple is "unconventional". While the poster represents a diverse group of people, it addresses corporations and authorities, asking them to take accountability for their negligent attitude about AIDS and HIV. I hope to recreate a similar image and direct it towards the same people Gran Fury did because those same people are still holding major control over public health and their negligent, homophobic attitudes toward illnesses such as HIV has been the direct cause of death for so many.
